Dr Joanna Bucknall
I Joined DTA as a Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Drama and Theatre at the University of Birmingham in 2017. I am a practice-based scholar whose research interests include immersive performance practices, augmented and mixed reality in performance, live art, practice-as-research, performance documentation and cognitive approaches to reception theory. I am the artistic director of Vertical Exchange Performance Collective, co-artistic director of KeepHouse Performance and an Associate Artist at the New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth.
I founded DTALiT! in 2019 in the hope of fostering community through creativity.
